INTRODUCING THE HSJ LIFE SCIENCES FORUM

The HSJ Life Sciences Forum, now in its secind year, is a unique event designed to facilitate collaboration and joint-working between the NHS and industry

There is a vision for the Life Sciences industry in the UK to be a global hub for clinical research and medical innovation. For this strategy to succeed, collaboration across industry and the NHS is vital to support transformation.

The NHS must build on the Accelerated Access Review and embrace cost-effective innovations for patients.
